If you are like us, a pizza night is reserved for one evening on the weekend. Of course, there are the usual toppings of pepperoni and cheese or onions, mushrooms,you name it. We have even tried a BBQ pork pizza...let's just say that was NOT my favorite but we have since made vast improvement in our topping choices. So going on the spinach or vegetarian pizza theme, a white pizza variant was on the horizon.

Let's be honest, a pizza is not hard to make. However, having the right ingredients and a pizza stone are a must!

You may be thinking, what is a white pizza? Some may deem it to be cheese and topping. I however, love a base sauce; therefore, I created a garlic white pizza sauce. Topped with mozzarella, spinach, and artichokes, the white sauce makes the pizza simply awesome! Now for the honesty, I do not make my own pizza dough. Not because I am lazy or do not know how, but my local grocer sells the best, fresh pizza dough every day...thus, I have no need to make it myself. It comes out perfect everytime.

Now all this pizza talk had made me hungry.

White Pizza:

1 lb Fresh Pizza Dough

2 c. Mozzarella Cheese

1 box Cooked, Chopped Spinach

1/2 c. Chopped, Artichoke Hearts

2 cloves Garlic, minced

2 Tbl. Butter

2 Tbl. Flour

1 C. Whole Milk or Cream

For Sauce: melt butter in small saucepan . Saute garlic in butter till for 2 min. Add flour to saucepan, forming a roux, and stir till smooth. Do not let roux brown. Add milk to roux and stir constantly till mixture has become a thick sauce.
